NECK-SCARF.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 226,763, dated April 20, 1880. Application filed September 8, 1879.

neck-band to the iiaps ofthe scarf, and to prevent exposure of the eollar-ba-nd and portions ofthe shirt adjacent thereto.

These objects .I attain by forming the body of the scarl' with projections at each of its upper corners, these projections coinciding with the neck-band, all as hereinafter more fully set forth. i

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front View of my improved neck-scarf; Fig. i, a rear view of the same, and Fig. 3 a detachedview of the shield.

The scarf consists, as usual, ot' a centerpiece, C, diagonally-crossed iaps B B, a neckband, D, and a shield, E. The upper corner of each flap B is extended above the upper edge of the center portion, C, of the scarf, and the shield E has at each of its upper corners corresponding extensions.

The extensions of the shields and aps are secured together at the opposite edges only of each extension, so that the projections F F formed by the extensions are tubular, one end of the neck-band D being fitted and secured within the projection F, and the other end of said band, when the scarf is applied to the neck, being passed through the projection F and retained by the pin a of the shield. v

The upper ends of the projections F F are but little, it' any, wider than the neck-band D, so that the usual unsightly union of the neckband with the lia-ps of the scarf is obviated, the projections F F of-my improved scarfforming a natural and graceful continuation of the neck-band D.

The projections and the portions of the neckband immediately adjacent thereto conceal from View those portions of the collar-band and shirt usually exposed above the vest, the projections, moreover, fitting neatly to the collar and insuring' the maintenance of the upper edge of the center-piece C in proper position in respect to the neck of the shirt.

As shown in the drawings, the tia-ps B B have curved or elliptical outer edges, which, however, form no part of my invention.

I claim as my invention- 1. A neck-scarf having a shield, E, centerpiece C, neck-band D, and diagonally-crossed iiaps B B, the upper corners of the latter extending above the upper edge ot' the centerpiece and heilig contracted so as to coincide or nearly coincide in width with the neck-band, and thereby forni, in effect, continuations ofthe latter', all substantially as specified.

2. A neck-scarf having at each of its upper corners tubular projections F F', to one of which is adapted and secured one end ot' the neck-band D, the opposite end ot said band fitting within the opposite tubular projection, all substantially as specitied.

3. The combination` ofthe iiaps B B, having extensions at the uppercorners, with the shield E, having similar extensions at its upper corners, the extension of each Bap being secured to the correspondin g extension of the shield at the opposite edges only of said extension, whereby the tubular projections F F are formed. as set forth.
